The bowls are made of Japanese beech wood, which is robust and has little distortion. The rounded shape and smooth texture of the bowls allow you to feel the softness of the wood when you put your mouth on them.
The bowls are made of the same wood, but each bowl is unique to you. Even if they are made of the same wood, each bowl is unique.
Even if they are made of the same beech wood, the grain and weight of the scraped bowls are all different. You can make matching bowls with different sizes for your family members and enjoy growing your own unique bowls.
SONOBE-SONOBE SANGYO
Odawara has been a lacquerware production area since the Muromachi period. Odawara is designated as a traditional craft for its techniques such as rokuro-hiki (turning on a wheel) and urushi lacquer coating, which take advantage of the beauty of the natural grain of the Hakone mountain range. In order to pass on Odawara's woodworking to the next generation, Sonobe Sangyo uses a variety of domestic and foreign woods, and its young craftsmen consider everything from tool making to design and usability, pouring all of their inherited skills into the creation of their products.
